california governor jerry brown ordered state regulators to allow refineries to produce more gasoline - even switching to winter blend, which can be made more easily than the less-polluting summer blend. in a letter to regulators, brown said, "if this situation continues, it may cause unacceptable price impacts for consumers and small businesses, significant economic disruption, and serious harm to public safety and welfare." oil analysts say the spike in gas prices began after a fire at a chevron refinery in the bay area and two recent shutdowns at refineries near los angeles. but senator dianne feinstein wants the federal trade commission to investigate possible price manipulation and collusion, saying, "california's consumers are all too familiar with energy price spikes which cannot be explained by market fundamentals, and which turn out years later to have been the result of malicious and manipulative trading activity." analysts say the gasoline situation in california is pretty much confined to that state. it is largely cut off from the pipeline network across much of the nation
